I contacted CORSA here in Houston about 3 weeks ago looking for my core and they had no leads for me... not even a lead on a salvage yard known for having Corsairs... do let me know if you find a 3'rd core here in Texas. I am certainly 'hot to trot'

On the 29th I asked Zenith about the Drawings & Plans. Here is their full response:
"The drawings are to be done the end of January."
Reading that literally, there's no promise about the Manual. I'm holding off ordering the Drawings & Manuals till they're complete (sans inevitable updates of course)
I'm going to get started by getting two corvair cores. Guess I'll contact CORSA here in Texas. All I ever see are whole cars; fruitlessly called some salvage yards but of course the engine is simply not "stocked", if you know what I mean.
Any estimates on material costs for the airframe on a plans build (must be pretty close to a 701)?

45-60% of the kit cost not including tools is my guess.
do not archive

OK...another question.
Is it better to order everything at one time if you are building the kit version or.... wait and buy it in stages as you build? Make sense?

Plans and manuals are already available for the tail kit (rudder, stabilizer,
elevator). By the time you get the plans, manuals for the wings are probably not
far behind and by the time you start building the fuselage a complete set of
manuals should be available online. Since you are planning on building from
scratch that certainly gives you enough time. Why wait, you miss out on good
quality shop time

Dave, I got a response from CORSA in DFW for a potential engine/engines from a guy in Seguin, but the guy giving me the info wasn't sure if the Seguin source was selling anything. I can email you the contact info offline ...

had parts that had problems. When I got my parts shipped in November some issued were already solved. Biggest disadvantage is additional cost (shipping, crating) and being on a waiting list. We are almost done with the tailkit and the wings (on order) have no delivery date yet.
